Notes

His Family is listed (children's births) on p. 445 of the Orrington vital records. !Death: P. 445 of Orrington Vital Records. !Marriage: Mayf.Des.32:62 (1934), Eastham and Orleans Vital Records: "Edward Snow and Betty myrick Both of Eastham was married in Eastham on the 18th Day of february 1768..." !Birth: Mayflower Families: Stephen Hopkins. He served in the revolutionary war. He participated in the Penobscot Expedition, attached to the sloop Centurion. His complete participation in the Rev. War is not entirely clear, due in part to the existence of others with the name Edward Snow in that time frame. That Penobscot Expedition participant was him is hardly refutable. However, his participation may have been considerably greater than this. Cases in point: An Edward Snow entered Capt. George Webb's Company in Col. William Sheppherd's Regiment of Continental Troops on April 15, 1777 and served until October 31, 1779. [Paine's Hist. of Harwich p.322] Capt. George Webb was a resident of Harwich [Paine p.323]. This may have been a resident of Harwich, or it may have been the current Edward Snow, I'm not sure. He moved from Eastham to Orrington sometime between 1772 and 1786. !Census (1790): Orrington, 3 males over 16, 3 males under 16, and 5 females in household. [Probably identities: Males over 16=Himself, sons Edward and Daniel; males under 16=sons Sylvanus, William, Jabez; Females=wife Betty, daus. Betty, Mary, Statira, Sarah. Appears to have been enumerated before 11 March 1790] From MAINE FAMILIES in 1790, Vol. 1, pg. 256 (sent to me by BobPSmith@aol.com): "Snow, Edward, 30a 3-3-5-0-0, Orrington Town, Hancock County. EDWARD SNOW5 B. Eastham MA 25 Jun. 1745 son of Sylvanus and Hannah (Cole) Snow d. Orrington Oct. 1791 m. 18 Feb 1768 Betty Myrick dau. of William and Lydia (Higgins) Myrick. She d.
